Video crop FAQ
What is the difference between crop and trim?
Cropping changes the visible image area, while trimming changes the start and end time of the clip. They solve different editing problems.
Can I crop to a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes. The crop workflow supports free adjustment as well as common ratios for publishing and layout needs.
Is the video uploaded during cropping?
No. Cropping runs locally in the browser, so your file remains on your device.
Does cropping affect video quality?
Cropping changes the visible frame area without re-encoding the full video. Output quality depends on the browser-side processing and the original video's encoding.
